Sleight of Hand (Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition)

Quick answer

A percentile skill rating (0–100) you roll under on d100.

Definition

Manual trickery—palming objects, subtle swaps, and doing it without being noticed.

How to use it
  • This is your Sleight of Hand rating (0–100).
  • When you attempt it, you typically roll d100 and succeed if you roll equal to or under your rating.
